Viral infections Flashcards
HSV-1 Herpes Labialis
Primary 6 months - 6 years old then latent in trigeminal ganglion
does best in mucosa and non intact skin (pharynx, eyes, lips)
yellow vesicles with red borders that burst into ulcers, crust on oropharynx, eyes, lips, genitals
secondary exposure will reactivate, often symptomatic
transmission of HSV1 herpes labialis
shed in saliva, close contact
wear glasses, mask
prevent prodromal symptoms with antivirals
HSV-1 Herpetic Whitlow
less common
occurs on fingers
red border, yellow vesicle
no dental work till resolved, self inoculation risk
Acute Herpetic Gingivostomatitis (primary herpes)
most common HSV infection, rapid onset
6 months-5 years old, sick
multiple vesicles rupture to ulcers on palate, lips, tongue, attached ging, vermillion border
gingival enlargement
avoid dental tx for 14 days
HSV-2 genital herpes
genital/oral
vesicles or ulcers
big increase in incidence
shed while asymptomatic
HSV 2 transmission
shed in saliva/genital secretions
risk of transmission to baby during birth (aseptic meningitis) but does not cross placenta
HSV-3 varicella zoster chicken pox
primary virus in dorsal spinal ganglion
VZV is primary symptomatic infection
total body rash, itchy
perioral and oral lesions
followed by latency, if it recurs= herpes zoster/shingles
HSV-3 transmission VZV
transmit thru air droplets and direct contact with lesions
risk if pregnant (defects, abortion), vaccinate MMR, avoid dental tx
tx: antiviral meds, non aspirin antipyretics to avoid Reyes Syndrome
HSV-3 Herpes Zoster complications
post herpetic neuralgia, Ramsey Hunt syndrome, blindness, tooth exfoliation, necrosis of mand
important to take antivirals within 72 hrs, treat oral lesions with topical, avoid contact with preg/unvaccinated
HSV-3 Shingles
recurrent unilateral vesicles, pustules, ulcers that crust
can affect 3 branches of trigeminal nerve, eyes, palate, ramus to midline on one side, trunk
HSV-4 EBV infectious mono
virus replicates in oropharynx
remains in host for life
oral hairy leukoplakia: white mucosal plaque on lateral tongue that does not rub off
commonly seen in AIDS, organ transplant, immunosuppressive aids
HSV-4 EBV transmission
shed in saliva, assoc with HIV
carcinomas: nasopharyngeal, Burkitt’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, all CNS lymphomas in in AIDS, risk factor for non-Hodgkin’s
HSV5 Cytomegalovirus
persistent ulcers
50% of population infected by 40 years old
reactivated by preg, aids, blood transfusions
90% asymptomatic
symptomatic: chorioretinitis in AIDS <50
HSV-5 Cytomegalovirus transmission
shed in saliva, body fluids, crosses placenta affecting fetus (mental affects, deaf, heart defects)
assoc with AIDS <50 CD4
HSV-6 Roseola
3 months-3 years
sudden maculopapular rash, blanches
seizures with high fever
replicate in salivary glands
may also have otitis, GI, resp distress
HSV-7 Exanthem Subitum
fever with or without rash
usually older children
HSV-8 Kaposi’s sarcoma
painless purple red macules
HSV-9 Kaposi’s risks/tx
malignancy assoc wtih HIV/Aids
tx: chemo, excise, radiation, antiviral
Viruses
intracellular that infect cells to replicate
transient or long term infections, malignancy potential
reactivation with recurrent infections
all cause primary infection as child, remain latent
weakened defenses
shed in saliva or genital secretions
HSV-1 vs HSV-2
both are identical clinically, different locations
associated with non infectious processes (erythema multiforme)
affects epithelial cells
tx: primary= antivirals, restrict contact
recurrent= acyclovir in prodromal phase
Recurrent Herpes Simplex (secondary herpes)
most common at vermillion border
15-45% prevalence
prodromal: burning, itching, tingling
then multiple, red small red papules that form clusters of vesicles which rupture, crust heal with no scar
postpone dental
HSV-3 Herpes Zoster/Shingles
virus stored in dorsal ganglia or trigeminal ganglion
fever, malaise, pain, lymphadenopathy
3 phases
Prodrome: intense pain, inflammatory rxn
Acute: prodromal rash, vesicles, ulcers crust
Chronic: 15%, persistent pain
